[gentoo-user] WLAN with fixed IP
Hi, I'd like to assign fixed IP numbers to computers of a local network. Using dhcp as in modules=wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant_wlan0=-Dwext -iwlan0 config_wlan0=dhcp works just fine but depends on dhcp for IP assignment. The following does not work, i.e. the network is not working modules=wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant_wlan0=-Dwext -iwlan0 config_wlan0=192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255 routes_wlan0=default via 192.168.1.1 dns_servers_wlan0=192.168.1. What am I missing. What does the dhcp option imply? Are there any additional necessary initialization (like an ifup) ? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut.

This is what your /etc/dhcp/dhcp.conf would look like on the router, or how it
should be configured wherever DHCP is handed out:
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 1800;
max-lease-time 1800;
subnet 192.168.54.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.54.10 192.168.54.50;
option broadcast-address 192.168.54.255;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.54.1;
option routers 192.168.54.1;
}
subnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.100.10 192.168.100.50;
option broadcast-address 192.168.100.255;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.100.1;
option routers 192.168.100.1;
}
host server {
hardware ethernet 00:d0:68:0b:87:66;
fixed-address 192.168.100.3;
}
You of course need to adjust for your network(s). And I'd install dhcpcd and
put it in the default runlevel.
Then on the client you have /etc/conf.d/net like this:
modules_wlan0=wpa_supplicant
wpa_supplicant_wlan0=-Dwext
config_wlan0=dhcp
if you're using wpa_supplicant (you mentioned wpa_cli).
And your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf would look like:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
#ap_scan=0
#update_config=1
network={
ssid=YourSSID
psk=your-secret-key
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
group=CCMP TKIP
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
priority=5
}
If you just want to setup a static IP per machine, /etc/conf.d/net:
config_wlan0=192.168.1.2/24
routes_wlan0=default via 192.168.1.1
Hope this helps. If it's too confusing, might mention where DHCP is handed
out, and some more about your LAN.
